The complete guide to spirit-filled speech and speaking with spirit
"This book is a spiritual guide to using the holy gift of speech. It is a ... how-to ... grounded in a humble way of being, expressing an attitude of gratitude toward the tongue, in the knowledge that speech is a gift from God and we have a choice to use our mouths virtuously, in the most humble and searching sense of that word."
―from the Introduction
So much of our time is spent in conversation, yet little time is devoted to thinking about the words we choose to use, or the manner in which we speak. Taking the time to make our words count―to make our speech sacred―can lead to positive changes in our lives, and improve our relationships with others.
Sacred Speech is a personal, warm-hearted approach to a complex matter―how we can use speech in holy ways. Drawing support from literary and spiritual sources, Rev. Donna Schaper offers compelling advice from her own experience as a clergyperson, teacher, partner, and parent, empowering us to:
- Acknowledge the Divine in the words we use
- Use speech to maximize the possibility of love and care
- Use speech to minimize fear
- Link, connect, and contact with others through words
A clear invitation to improve our communications with others, Sacred Speech is ideal for spiritual and religious leaders, professionals who work in multifaith settings, the politically correct and the not-so politically correct, and anyone who wants to do more than simply "watch what they say."
